Moroccan Style Quinoa

    It's not often I mess things up, but tonight making two recipes, I cooked off the onion and garlic for this, then threw in the onion and capsicum for the other recipe I was making. Never mind-a bit more onion and some capsicum didn't really alter the outcome! I don't much like currants, so used craisins instead and just sprinkled a few slivered almonds over as a garnish. Yummy, yummy dish!
